A Handbook for Yogasana Teachers: The Incorporation of
Neuroscience, Physiology, and Anatomy into the Practise. Mel Robin.
Published: Wheatmark Press, 2009. 1,106 pages.

This is undoubtedly one of the most interesting books
on yoga from the point of view of asana based yoga published recently.
The book is a mine of information drawing on research that is not
readily accessible, a medical background with hands on therapy, and an
immersion in the teaching of B. K. S. Iyengar. It sets a serious
standard.

The
Great OOM The IMprobably Birth of Yoga in America. Robert Love.
Published: Viking, 2010. 402 Pages.

This book tells the story of a Kaula
Tantric Yoga tradition in America. That tradition disappeared leaving
few traces and was disposed of in the waste can of yoga hucksters. The
few records available give us a glimpse of perspective on the yoga
traditions of today and the urge to divinization as in the case of Rajneesh,
Kumare (Vikram Gandhi) and now of Krishnamacariar.
